A friend of a co-worker has a '72 Buick Skylark she's considering selling. How much could she expect to sell it for, considering it's in tip-top shape, straight body, no rust, with about 70,000 original miles?? It's also got one of those vinyl-covered hardtops, if that makes any difference. Thanks!

Seems I get one thing patched and another thing goes wrong. That's the nature of owning a classic, isn't it? Today my driver's side power window stopped working. I tried to roll down the window and I heard a "snap". The motor still works but the glass doesn't move. My 1967 edition Motors Repair...

Hi all! Does anyone know anything about the cornering lights that were offered as a custom option on Buicks of the mid-'60s? I have cornering lights on my '65 Electra and the driver's side is burned out. I'd like to change the bulb but it looks easier said than done. I have two questions: 1...

Hi, My '65 Electra has a malfunctioning turn signal. it was working fine until a few days ago. I came out of the store and went to use it and nothing. No ticking sound, no flashing, nothing. I briefly had this issue once a few weeks ago but solved the problem by playing with the steering wheel...

Does anyone have, or know of, side trim for a '65 Buick Electra 225? I'm talking about the pot metal door trim that runs from stem to stern along the lower portion of the body. If anyone has any information where I might find those (besides eBay), please enlighten me. Thank you! :thumbsup:

I have an otherwise nice, workable radio in my '65 Buick Electra. However, the front (dash) speaker is shot. Does anyone know where I might find another one,or how I might have it repaired or reconed? Does anyone have a speaker for that kind of car they'd be willing to sell/trade? Any help is...

Today marks 6 months since I purchased my Buick. In total, I've added 3,575 miles to the car, bringing the total mileage to 126,028. While digging through the glove box, I came across the original Protectoplates (original owner protection plan). The car was ordered in Panorama City, California...

I've posted before on this subject, but now I'm getting desperate. I need an o-ring for a fuel sender for my '65 Electra. It leaks if I fill the tank over 10 gallons. I've looked at CARS inc, Steele Rubber, eBay, Kanter Auto Products... No one has the part I need. I already spent $11.25 on a...

Does anyone know where I can obtain an o-ring for fuel sender for my '65 Buick Electra? It leaks gas when full, and all I need is the seal between the tank and the fuel sender. Thanks!

I'm just wondering if there are any mid-late '60s Buick owners on this forum who live in Oregon. Drop in and say hi!

OK, I have another question. I have cornering lights on my Electra. My understanding is they were optional equipment, and they're supposed to flash when you use the turn signals. Anyway, one of them is burned out. I tried removing the screws from the lens, but I was unable to remove the lens or...
